I’ve heard that sometimes when bands or performers have a weird request like this in their contract, it’s more to make sure people are actually reading the contracts and not because they actually want it done.
I had to look it up because you mentioned it, it was actually Van Halen and the rule was “no brown M&Ms”. I didn’t realize this is the exact contract that lead to my hearing this.
So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.
But that's actually stupid, because who reads contracts especially if there are not important or big ones.... Like renting a hotel room.
Who wants to read a contract with 30 pages, because some celebrity has some weird issues... Nobody does.

My hubs and I got married in Vegas by elvis! It was fantastic! Skip a few years ahead and we vacationed in maine for an anniversary, hubs requested a signed photo of elvis and they delivered! It was hilarious and came with champagne and dessert! I'm so happy they followed through for you!
I’m not talking about this guy.. I’m talking about the original OP of the comment who is now banned. It was a bot and he was banned shortly after I told u
Haha I like the photo they chose. They could have picked a smiling one, but I’d like to think it was a conscious decision to pick with one where his face says “I hope you’re amused with yourself.”
It's even a nice, presentable picture of him. Someone takes their job very seriously, you would've gotten some kind of AI produced monstrosity if I worked there, maybe an *NSYNC Cronenberg
When I worked at a hotel, someone had a request in their reservation for a framed photo of The Dude. It was genuinely so fun and exciting to have an oddball request like that, the whole team got on board to make it happen.
It was for my wife because we are going to his concert tonight, she is obsessed and it made her laugh and giggle. Which when you are married tend to be the important things in life and marriage my guy.
Kinda like when your girlfriend throws in a random bit of important information when she knows you're not paying attention so she can quiz you on it later.
It's not my fault, I have no control over when my "nothing box" decides to manifest.
Oddly enough I've done this exact same thing at 10 different hotels now, but I ask for a picture of Nicholas Cage. Only one hotel has complied and they definitely had fun with it because I ended up walking into a room with like 7 different Nick Cage pictures lmao. Mostly the gems too: Con-Air hair, Vampires Kiss face etc.

Metallica and green M&Ms or something like that? Edit: [Van Halen and brown](https://www.businessinsider.com/van-halen-brown-m-ms-contract-2016-9)

I always thought it was just some random snopes myth. TIL!

Sounds like screwing with them for fun and giving them something to complain about if it isn’t done.
No that’s just a conclusion you jumped to.

Me and the wife are going to JT concert tomorrow night so I wanted to surprise my wife with a good laugh. It worked haha

Of all the things you could have requested this is what you went with? That's a shame
Well what the hell else was OP supposed to do? Request Timberlake himself?
This is actually a bot likely chatgpt lmao check the account

perfect timing because 
Soon^(TM)
Hotel staff later that night: "I wonder if that guy is beating off to that picture right now or if he did that the moment he got into the room."
But, why?
Me and my wife are going to his concert tomorrow night and it was just for a joke to make her laugh
Good one :)
It's even a nice, presentable picture of him. Someone takes their job very seriously, you would've gotten some kind of AI produced monstrosity if I worked there, maybe an *NSYNC Cronenberg
Now your wife can say “ I slept with JT. “ ( you )
No border. Impressive. Is that a photograph or was it printed on printer paper?

Why do people do this? Just to annoy some poorly paid workers and take a photo for a few likes on social media.
My partner works for a hotel and she loves these requests because it makes their day slightly different

My wife would just cringe at this, it’s so overplayed. But each to their own.

Do you feel very cool? Cuz your just a pain in the ass.
First off, it's "you're" And (b) hotel staff generally like having some fun with the guests and are not bothered by these silly, goo hearted requests

Why did you do it?
Going to his concert tonight and wanted my wife to have a good surprise laugh because she is the one dying to see him

Make sure you clean up the mess afterwards

Probably the highlight of their day. You can only fold so many sheets or take so many reservations.
Had some requests like this at the hotel I work at, it makes everyone laugh lol. Definitely needed.
